    Comes at you quickly, Shining Vale has a thrilling pace that draws you in from the very beginning. The comedy is light and does not overshadow or completely pull you away from a scary moment.

The comedy is light and does not overshadow or completely pull you away from a scary moment. For me, it's the first time I'm seeing small, predictable moments compliment rather than hurt. Described as a horror-comedy, Shining vale also seems to fit the categories of mystery and drama, where I felt intrigued, sorry, and scared for Pat (Courteney Cox). These first two episodes left me with a lot to unpack and a desire to see more. My regret will most likely come at the end of the series when I find myself wishing I had waited until Halloween season to watch. Damian @ talkteav.com… Expand

    All snark and no wit makes this miserable misfire of a horror comedy a chore to even describe. [14 - 27 Mar 2022, p.7]

    Shining Vale may get better during its first season as we find out what’s actually driving this story. But its first episode was a loud mess of a show that seemed to be more satisfied with giving Courteney Cox as many chances to swear as possible than to actually establish its characters.

    Shining Vale – which Horgan has co-written with Jeff Astrof – is billed as a comedy-horror but it hovers around in the space between the two because it’s neither screamingly funny nor remotely frightening. ... At least Shining Vale is attempting to tackle it in a light-hearted style, rather than bleak drama.
